DUAAB, THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
The Dhaka University Alumni Association of Banking and Insurance shortly named as DUAAB is the brain child of the founding chairman of the Department of Banking Professor Dr. Azizur Rahman Khan and Professor Shibli Rubayat Ul-Islam along with a bunch of enthusiastic students of the Department who took the endeavor to form an alumni association in early 2008.
After more than one-year of preparatory work and discussion, finally the first ever Convening Committee was formed with Professor Dr. Azizur Rahman Khan as President and Professor Shibli Rubayat Ul-Islam as Vice-President. Additionally, the former students, who worked in leading banks, multinational companies and other financial intuitions represented the committee and started the journey of the alumni association. Currently, DUAAB is headed by Professor Shibli Rubayat Ul-Islam accompanied by Professor Dr. Hasina Sheykh as the Senior Vice-President and Mr. Md. Ashraful Alam as the Secretary General. The previous students who have shown their dedicated interest and put their hard-work for this initiative are Mr. Md. Zahidul Islam Khan, Md. Ashiqur Rahman, Md. AshrafulAlam, Md. Shahidul Islam to name a few.
DUAAB officially started its operation on 24April, 2009 as an independent, non-profit and non-political organization with its own slogan Banking for Excellence. DUAAB is governed by its own constitution of Dhaka University Alumni Association of Banking and Insurance. The mission of DUAAB is to build a life-long and global community of alumni through increased opportunities for meaningful engagement in order to increase awareness, pride, participation, voluntary involvement and philanthropic commitment to society.
The core objective of DUAAB is to promote strongbonding and life-long connections among the peers, predecessors and successors through mutual interactions. It is highly committed to serving the deprived section of society in multifarious ways. Since its inception, DUAAB has been immensely recognized as one of the most vibrant alumni associations of the University of Dhaka. It actively works to promote education in various ways: arranging seminars and symposiums in pertinent issues, distributing winter clothes to deprived people of the country, supporting the flood-affected people, distributing festive clothes to the disadvantaged children in remote areas of Bangladesh, and last but not the least, providing scholarship opportunities to most-talented and financially challenged students of the Department through regular financial support.
